Set The Record Straight on Health Care Reform
We need your help to set the record straight!
Now that members of Congress have returned to Washington and are debating health care reform, you can bet that opponents of women's reproductive health care are not letting up with their dishonest attacks on Planned Parenthood and the women, men, and teens we serve.
Please take two minutes right now to write an online letter to the editor of your local newspaper. The media have been getting an earful from anti-choice activists and their allies in Congress — now they need to hear from you. Tell them the TRUTH about health care reform and Planned Parenthood.
Guidelines: Make it clear how important Planned Parenthood is to you and your loved ones. Say that reproductive health care is crucial to women's health, and that removing this coverage from the health care reform bill is a price that women aren't willing to pay — and should never be asked to pay. It's important to tell your story in your own words, but we have provided some more points to keep in mind when you write your letter...

Health care reform is a vitally important issue, too important to be derailed by myths and misinformation. From false accusations that the reform bill will "mandate abortion" to the bizarre claim that the administration wants to create "death panels," opponents of reform keep inventing new lies to try to stop the bill. We can't let propaganda keep affordable health care out of the reach of millions!
Anti-choice groups have geared up for an all-out assault on women's health care. They're using the reform negotiations to pursue their number one goal: preventing women from accessing comprehensive reproductive health care, from birth control to abortion. And I'm sure it's not news to you that they're willing to use every dishonest attack and dirty trick they can to stand in the way of women's health.
As the health care debate continues in Congress, we're counting on supporters like you to stay informed about what is at stake — and share the truth with friends, family, and co-workers.
